Drake at Iowa

Iowa is down, and we have seen nothing from this team that makes us feel this year will be any different. They have won five games at home over teams that collectively are 17-38, and 7-26 on the road. Of the seven road wins these teams have amassed, four of them are by UL Monroe, and they needed OT to slip past them. Drake provided a good measuring stick by going to then ranked St. Mary's and losing by just six points. They led that game into the second half. Drake goes 10 deep and their top three players all hit over 46% from the arc. Iowa has committed way too many turnovers against very poor competition. They have 190, to just 136 assists. Drake is the better team, and we expect them to come away with the road win here.
